From V1 to V3, the BLACKBIRD has established itself as a benchmark, recognized for its glide, balance, and unique feel on the water. A board that evolves session after session, version after version, driven by feedback from the field and the high standards of the riders who have embraced it from day one.
Following the success of the V3, AFS ADVANCED is taking another step forward with a fourth version that offers improvements across the board: better glide, earlier takeoff, reduced weight, and greater forgiveness.
These changes are the result of in-depth work on the shape: a tapered tail, a redesigned rocker, an optimized outline, improved volume distribution, and a more pronounced double concave.
As downwind sailing has become more established, we have focused our R&D on a range of four sizes—available in two lengths and two widths—to accommodate all sailing conditions and body types.
